Edmund Janniger (born 30 December 1995) was a short-time adviser to the Minister of National Defence of Poland Antoni Macierewicz in late 2015.

[3] Janniger has worked with long-time family friend[4] Antoni Macierewicz for 6 months[5] (some reports state 3 years), initially as his assistant and later as trainee deputy manager in his parliamentary office.

[6][7][8] In the run-up to the 2015 Polish parliamentary election, Janniger held a post of deputy campaign manager for Law and Justice in the 10th Electoral District where Macierewicz was the party's lead candidate.

[14] The appointment of such a relatively young person to the post met with support of the media sympathetic to the newly elected government and with criticism from those aligned with the opposition.

[15] He held the post officially until 8 December 2015, when he returned to the United States[16] to focus on Institute of Global Affairs, a short-lived club he had established[5] presented by some media as a think tank.
